If for the value of any transaction, discount = x %.

It's discounted value = (100 - x)% of its original value.

MRP (in ₹)Discount %Discounted value (Selling price)
6004060% of 600 = ₹ 360
4503268% of 450 = ₹ 306
9002080% of 900 = ₹ 720
7503070% of 750 = ₹ 525
Total₹ 1911

CGST = 6% of ₹ 1911 = $\frac{6}{100} \times 1938$ = ₹ 114.66

SGST = CGST = ₹ 114.66

Amount of bill = ₹ 1911 + ₹ 114.66 + ₹ 114.66 = ₹ 2140.32

Hence, amount of bill = ₹ 2140.32

5GST (GOODS/SERVICES TAX)

A dealer in Kanpur (U.P.) supplies goods worth ₹ 5000 to a dealer in Meerut (U.P.). The dealer in Meerut supplies the same goods/services to a dealer in Delhi at a profit of ₹ 2000. Find the cost of goods/services in Delhi as per GST system. The rate of GST is 18%.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

When product is sold from Kanpur to Meerut (It is an intra-state transaction)

For dealer in Kanpur :

S.P. = ₹ 5000

CGST = 9% of ₹ 5000 = $\frac{9}{100} \times 5000 = ₹ 450$.

SGST = CGST = ₹ 450.

When product is sold from Meerut to Delhi (It is an inter-state transaction)

For dealer in Meerut :

Input-tax credit (ITC) = ₹ 450 + ₹ 450 = ₹ 900.

C.P. (excluding GST) = ₹ 5000

Profit = ₹ 2000

S.P. = ₹ 5000 + ₹ 2000 = ₹ 7000

IGST = 18% of ₹ 7000 = $\frac{18}{100} \times 7000$ = ₹ 1260

C.P. in Delhi = S.P. in Meerut + IGST = ₹ 7000 + ₹ 1260 = ₹ 8260.

Hence, cost of goods/services in Delhi = ₹ 8260.

6BANKING

Ashok deposits ₹ 3200 per month in a cumulative deposit account for 3 years at the rate of 9% per annum. Find the maturity value of this account.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

P = ₹ 3200

r = 9%

Maturity value of recurring deposit = Total sum deposited + Interest on it

= P × n + P × $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

where n is time in months.

Time (n) = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months.

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}= 3200 \times 36 + 3200 \times \frac{36 \times (36 + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{9}{100} \\[1em] = 115200 + 3200 \times \frac{36 \times 37}{24} \times \frac{9}{100} \\[1em] = 115200 + \frac{115200 \times 37 \times 9}{2400} \\[1em] = 115200 + 48 \times 37 \times 9 \\[1em] = 115200 + 15984 \\[1em] = 131184.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, maturity value = ₹ 131184.

7BANKING

Mrs. Karna has a recurring deposit account in Punjab National Bank for 3 years at 8% p.a. If she gets ₹ 9990 as interest at the time of maturity, find :

(i) the monthly instalment

(ii) the maturity value of the account.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

Time (n) = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months.

Rate = 8%

Let monthly instalment be ₹ P.

By formula,

Interest = P × $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

Substituting values we get

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 9990 = P \times \frac{36 \times 37}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{8}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9990 = P \times \frac{3 \times 37}{2} \times \frac{8}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9990 = P \times \frac{3 \times 37}{25} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = \frac{9990 \times 25}{3 \times 37} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = \frac{249750}{111} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = ₹ 2250.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, monthly installment = ₹ 2250.

(ii) Maturity value of recurring deposit = Total sum deposited + Interest on it

= P × n + 9990

= 2250 × 36 + 9990

= 81000 + 9990

= ₹ 90990.

Hence, the maturity value of this account = ₹ 90990.

8BANKING

A man has a 5 year recurring deposit account in a bank and deposits ₹ 240 per month. If he recieves ₹ 17,694 at the time of maturity, find the rate of interest.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let rate of interest be r%.

Given,

P = ₹ 240

M.V. = ₹ 17694

Time (n) = 5 years = 5 × 12 = 60 months.

Maturity value = P × n + P × $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

⇒ 17694 = 240 × 60 + 240 × $\frac{60 \times 61}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

⇒ 17694 = 14400 + 6 × $\frac{305r}{5}$

⇒ 17694 - 14400 = 6 × 61r

⇒ 3294 = 366r

⇒ r = $\frac{3294}{366}$ = 9%.

Hence, rate of interest = 9%.

9BANKING

Sheela has a recurring deposit account in a bank of ₹ 2000 per month at the rate of 10% per annum. If she gets ₹ 83100 at the time of maturity, find the total time (in years) for which the account was held.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let time = n months.

Given,

P = ₹ 2000

r = 10%

By formula,

M.V. = P × n + P × $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 83100 = 2000 \times n + 2000 \times \frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{10}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 83100 = 2000n + \frac{100n(n + 1)}{12} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 83100 = \frac{24000n + 100n^2 + 100n}{12} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 83100 \times 12 = 100(240n + n^2 + n) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 241n + n^2 = \frac{83100 \times 12}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 241n + n^2 = 9972 \\[1em] \Rightarrow n^2 + 241n - 9972 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow n^2 + 277n - 36n - 9972 = 0\\[1em] \Rightarrow n(n + 277) - 36(n + 277) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (n - 36)(n + 277) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow n - 36 = 0 \text{ or } n + 277 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow n = 36 \text{ or } n = -277.\end{aligned}$$

Since, time cannot be negative.

∴ n = 36 months = 3 years.

Hence, time = 3 years.

10BANKING

A man deposits ₹ 900 per month in a recurring account for 2 years. If he gets ₹ 1800 as interest at the time of maturity, find the rate of interest.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let rate of interest be r%.

Given,

P = ₹ 900

Time (n) = 2 years = 24 months.

By formula,

Interest = P × $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

Substituting values we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 1800 = 900 \times \frac{24 \times 25}{24} \times \frac{r}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1800 = 225r \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \frac{1800}{225} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 8%.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the rate of interest = 8%.

11SHARES AND DIVIDEND

What is the market value of $4\frac{1}{2}$ % (₹ 100) share, when an investment of ₹ 1800 produces an income of ₹ 72 ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Nominal value (N.V.) = ₹ 100

Income (dividend) on one share = $4\frac{1}{2}$ % of N.V. = $\frac{4\frac{1}{2}}{100} \times 100 = 4\frac{1}{2}$.

Given,

Total income = ₹ 72

⇒ No. of shares × Income on one share = 72

⇒ No. of shares × 4.5 = 72

⇒ No. of shares = $\frac{72}{4.5} = 16$.

We know that,

⇒ Sum invested = M.V. of each share × No. of shares

⇒ 1800 = M.V. of each share × 16

⇒ M.V. of each share = $\frac{1800}{16}$ = ₹ 112.50

Hence, M.V. of each share = ₹ 112.50

12SHARES AND DIVIDEND

By investing ₹ 10,000 in the shares of a company, a man gets an income of ₹ 800; the dividend being 10%. If the face-value of each share is ₹ 100, find :

(i) the market value of each share.

(ii) the rate percent which the person earns on his investment.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

Nominal value (N.V.) = ₹ 100

Income (dividend) on one share = 10 % of N.V. = $\frac{10}{100} \times 100 = 10$.

Given,

Total income = ₹ 800

⇒ No. of shares × Income on one share = 800

⇒ No. of shares × 10 = 800

⇒ No. of shares = $\frac{800}{10} = 80$.

We know that,

⇒ Sum invested = M.V. of each share × No. of shares

⇒ 10000 = M.V. of each share × 80

⇒ M.V. of each share = $\frac{10000}{80}$ = ₹ 125

Hence, M.V. of each share = ₹ 125

(ii) Given,

Man earns an income of ₹ 800 on investing ₹ 10000.

Rate percent = $\frac{\text{Income}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{800}{10000} \times 100 \\[1em] = \frac{80000}{10000} \\[1em] = 8%.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, person earns 8% on his investment.

13SHARES AND DIVIDEND

A man holds 800 shares of ₹ 100 each of a company paying 7.5% dividend semi-annually.

(i) Calculate his annual dividend.

(ii) If he had bought these shares at 40% premium, what percentage return does he get on his investment ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

A man holds 800 shares.

Nominal Value (N.V.) of each share = ₹ 100

Dividend paid semi-annually = 7.5%

Dividend paid annually = 7.5% × 2 = 15%

(i) Dividend on each share = 15% of N.V.

= $\frac{15}{100} \times 100$ = ₹ 15.

Total dividend = Dividend on each share × No. of shares

= ₹ 15 × 800 = ₹ 12000.

Hence, annual dividend of person = ₹ 12000.

(ii) Given,

The person had bought the shares at 40% premium.

Market Value (MV) = N.V. + Premium = 100 + $\frac{40}{100} \times 100$ = 100 + 40 = ₹ 140.

Total investment = M.V. × No. of shares

= 140 × 800 = ₹ 112000.

Rate of return = $\frac{\text{Income}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100 = \frac{12000}{112000} \times 100 = \frac{1200}{112}$ = 10.714 %.

Hence, there is a 10.714% percentage return on investment.

14SHARES AND DIVIDEND

A man invests ₹ 10560 in a company, paying 9% dividend, at the time when its ₹ 100 shares can be bought at a premium of ₹ 32. Find :

(i) the number of shares bought by him;

(ii) his annual income from these shares and

(iii) the rate of return on his investment.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

N.V. of share = ₹ 100

M.V. = N.V. + Premium = ₹ 100 + ₹ 32 = ₹ 132.

(i) No. of shares bought = $\frac{\text{Investment}}{\text{M.V.}} = \frac{10560}{132}$ = 80.

Hence, no. of shares = 80.

(ii) Income on 1 share = 9% of N.V.

= $\frac{9}{100} \times 100$ = ₹ 9.

Annual income = Income on 1 share × No. of shares

= ₹ 9 × 80 = ₹ 720.

Hence, annual income = ₹ 720.

(iii) Rate of return = $\frac{\text{Income}}{\text{Investment}} \times 100$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{720}{10560} \times 100 \\[1em] = \frac{72000}{10560} \\[1em] = 6\frac{9}{11}%.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, rate of return = $6\frac{9}{11}$ %.

15SHARES AND DIVIDEND

Find the market value of 12% ₹ 25 shares of a company which pays a dividend of ₹ 1875 on an investment of ₹ 20000.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Nominal value (N.V.) = ₹ 25

Income (dividend) on one share = 12 % of N.V. = $\frac{12}{100} \times 25 = 3$.

Given,

Total income = ₹ 1875

⇒ No. of shares × Income on one share = 1875

⇒ No. of shares × 3 = 1875

⇒ No. of shares = $\frac{1875}{3} = 625$.

We know that,

⇒ Sum invested = M.V. of each share × No. of shares

⇒ 20000 = M.V. of each share × 625

⇒ M.V. of each share = $\frac{20000}{625}$ = ₹ 32

Hence, M.V. of each share = ₹ 32.

16SHARES AND DIVIDEND

A man invests ₹ 20,020 in buying shares of N.V. ₹ 26 at 10% premium. The dividend on the shares is 15% per annum. Calculate :

(i) the number of shares he buys.

(ii) the dividend he receives annually.

(iii) the rate of interest he gets on his money.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) M.V. = ₹ 26 + $\frac{10}{100} \times 26$ = ₹ 26 + ₹ 2.6 = ₹ 28.6

Investment = ₹ 20,020

No. of shares bought = $\frac{20020}{28.6}$ = 700.

Hence, no. of shares bought = 700.

(ii) Annual dividend = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share

= 700 × $\frac{15}{100} \times 26$

= ₹ 2,730.

Hence, dividend = ₹ 2,730.

(iii) Rate of interest = $\frac{2730}{20020} \times 100 = \frac{273000}{20020} = 13\frac{7}{11}$%.

Hence, the rate of interest = $13\frac{7}{11}$%.

17SHARES AND DIVIDEND

Rohit invested ₹ 9,600 on ₹ 100 shares at ₹ 20 premium paying 8% dividend. Rohit sold the shares when the price rose to ₹ 160. He invested the proceeds (excluding dividend) in 10% ₹ 50 shares at ₹ 40. Find the :

(i) original number of shares.

(ii) sale proceeds.

(iii) new number of shares.

(iv) change in the two dividends.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) M.V. of first type of share = ₹ 100 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 120.

Investment = ₹ 9,600

No. of shares = $\frac{\text{Investment}}{\text{M.V.}} = \frac{9600}{120}$ = 80.

Hence, no. of shares = 80.

(ii) S.P. of 1 share = ₹ 160,

S.P. of 80 shares = 80 × ₹ 160 = ₹ 12,800.

Hence, sale proceeds = ₹ 12,800.

(iii) M.V. of second type of share = ₹ 40.

Investment = ₹ 12,800

No. of shares = $\frac{\text{Investment}}{\text{M.V.}} = \frac{12800}{40}$ = 320.

Hence, no. of shares = 320.

(iv) Annual dividend = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share

In first case :

Annual dividend = 80 × $\frac{8}{100} \times 100$ = ₹ 640.

In second case :

Annual dividend = 320 × $\frac{10}{100} \times 50$ = ₹ 1600.

Difference = ₹ 1600 - ₹ 640 = ₹ 960

Hence, there is an increase of ₹ 960 in dividend amount.

(e) If a and b are two negative integers such that a < b, then $\frac{1}{a} \lt \frac{1}{b}$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(a) False
Reason — If x < a and x < b, then (x - a)(x - b) will be greater than 0 as multiplication of two negative number generates a positive number.

(b) True
Reason — If a < 0 and b < 0, then (a + b) will be a negative number and square of any negative number is greater than 0, so (a + b)2 is greater than 0.

(c) False
Reason — If a > b, then a2 > b2 is true only if a and b are positive numbers.

(d) True
Reason — If a positive number is added to any number (suppose x), then resultant number is greater than x.

(e) False
Reason — If, a < b and both are two negative integers then on recripocating the numbers the sign will be reversed, so $\frac{1}{a} \gt \frac{1}{b}$.

The roots of the equation are real and equal, when D = 0.

⇒ b2 - 4ac = 0

⇒ [-2(2k - 1)]2 - 4 × k2 × 4 = 0

⇒ [-4k + 2]2 - 16k2 = 0

⇒ 16k2 + 4 - 16k - 16k2 = 0

If -5 is a root of the quadratic equation 2x2 + px - 15 = 0 and the quadratic equation p(x2 + x) + k = 0 has equal roots, find the value of k.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

As, -5 is the root of the quadratic equation 2x2 + px - 15 = 0, so it will satisfy the equation.

∴ 2(-5)2 + (-5)p - 15 = 0

⇒ 2 × 25 - 5p - 15 = 0

⇒ 50 - 5p - 15 = 0

⇒ 5p = 35

⇒ p = $\frac{35}{5}$ = 7.

Substituting value of p in p(x2 + x) + k = 0, we get :

⇒ 7(x2 + x) + k = 0

⇒ 7x2 + 7x + k = 0

Since, above equation has real and equal roots.

∴ D = 0

⇒ b2 - 4ac = 0

⇒ (7)2 - 4 × 7 × k = 0

⇒ 49 - 28k = 0

⇒ 28k = 49

⇒ k = $\frac{49}{28} = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4}$.

Hence, k = $1\frac{3}{4}$.

In a two digit number, the unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2. The product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144. Find the number.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let ten's digit be x.

Unit's digit = x + 2

Number = 10x + x + 2 = 11x + 2

Sum of digits = x + x + 2 = 2x + 2

According to question,

Number × Sum of digits = 144

⇒ (11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144

⇒ 22x2 + 22x + 4x + 4 = 144

⇒ 22x2 + 26x + 4 = 144

⇒ 22x2 + 26x = 140

⇒ 2(11x2 + 13x) = 140

⇒ 11x2 + 13x = 70

⇒ 11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0

⇒ 11x2 + 35x - 22x - 70 = 0

⇒ x(11x + 35) - 2(11x + 35) = 0

⇒ (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0

⇒ x - 2 = 0 or 11x + 35 = 0

⇒ x = 2 or x = -$\frac{35}{11}$

Since, digit cannot be negative.

∴ x = 2.

Number = 11x + 2 = 11(2) + 2

= 22 + 2 = 24.

Hence, number = 24.

The time taken by a person to cover 150 km was 2.5 hours more than the time taken in return journey. If he returned at a speed of 10 km/hour more than the speed of going, what was the speed per hour in each direction ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let speed while going be x km/hour and speed while returning will be (x + 10) km/hour.

Time taken while going = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{150}{x}$ hours.

Time taken while returning = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{150}{x + 10}$ hours.

Given,

Time taken by a person to cover 150 km was 2.5 hours more than the time taken in return journey.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{150}{x} - \frac{150}{x + 10} = 2.5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{150(x + 10) - 150x}{x(x + 10)} = \frac{25}{10} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{150x + 1500 - 150x}{x(x + 10)} = \frac{5}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1500}{x^2 + 10x} = \frac{5}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3000 = 5(x^2 + 10x) \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 10x = \frac{3000}{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 10x = 600 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 10x - 600 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 30x - 20x - 600 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(x + 30) - 20(x + 30) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (x - 20)(x + 30) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x - 20 = 0 \text{ or } x + 30 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 20 \text{ or } x = -30.\end{aligned}$$

Since, speed cannot be negative.

∴ x = 20 km/hour and (x + 10) = 30 km/hour.

Hence, speed while going = 20 km/hour and speed while returning = 30 km/hour.

A takes 9 days more than B to do a certain piece of work. Together they can do the work in 6 days. How many days will A alone take to do the work ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let A alone takes x days and B alone takes y days.

Given,

A takes 9 days more than B to do a certain piece of work

∴ x = y + 9 .........(1)

As, A takes x days to do a work

So, one day work of A = $\frac{1}{x}$

As, B takes y days to do a work

So, one day work of B = $\frac{1}{y}$

As, together they can do work in 6 days.

∴ In one day both of them do $\frac{1}{6}$ th part of work.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y + 9} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6} \space [\text{From (1)}] \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{y + y + 9}{y(y + 9)} = \frac{1}{6} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{2y + 9}{y^2 + 9y} = \frac{1}{6} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 6(2y + 9) = y^2 + 9y \\[1em] \Rightarrow 12y + 54 = y^2 + 9y \\[1em] \Rightarrow y^2 + 9y - 12y - 54 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y^2 - 3y - 54 = 0\\[1em] \Rightarrow y^2 - 9y + 6y - 54 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y(y - 9) + 6(y - 9) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (y + 6)(y - 9) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y + 6 = 0 \text{ or } y - 9 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = -6 \text{ or } y = 9.\end{aligned}$$

Since, days cannot be negative so, y ≠ -6.

x = y + 9 = 18.

Hence, A alone will take 18 days to complete the work.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Man bought a certain number of chairs for ₹ 10000.

Let no. of chairs bought be x.

∴ Cost of one chair = ₹ $\frac{10000}{x}$

S.P. of each chair = ₹ $\frac{10000}{x} + 50$

Since, he kept one chair for himself so he sold (x - 1) chairs.

Given,

⇒ Profit = ₹ 450

⇒ S.P. - C.P. = ₹ 450

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (x - 1) \times \Big(\frac{10000}{x} + 50\Big) - 10000 = 450 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10000 + 50x - \frac{10000}{x} - 50 - 10000 = 450 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 50x - \frac{10000}{x} = 450 + 50 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{50x^2 - 10000}{x} = 500 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 50x^2 - 10000 = 500x \\[1em] \Rightarrow 50(x^2 - 200) = 500x \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 - 200 = 10x \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 - 10x - 200 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 - 20x + 10x - 200 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(x - 20) + 10(x - 20) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (x + 10)(x - 20) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + 10 = 0 \text{ or } x - 20 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = -10 \text{ or } x = 20.\end{aligned}$$

Since no. of chairs cannot be negative.

∴ x = 20.

Hence, no. of chairs bought = 20.

Length of smaller portion (l) = 80 meters

Breadth of smaller portion (b) = 50 meters

Area of smaller portion = l × b = 80 × 50 = 4000 m2

Area of unshaded portion = Area of larger portion - Area of smaller portion

Given,

Area of unshaded portion is 75% of the area of the shaded portion.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore 75% \text{Area of Shaded portion = Area of unshaded portion} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{75}{100} \times 4000 = x^2 + 130x \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3000 = x^2 + 130x \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 130x - 3000 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 150x - 20x - 3000 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(x + 150) - 20(x + 150) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (x - 20)(x + 150) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x - 20 = 0 \text{ or } x + 150 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 20 \text{ or } x = -150.\end{aligned}$$

The ratio of the prices of first two fans was 16 : 23. Two years later, when the price of the first fan had risen by 10% and that of the second by ₹ 477, the ratio of their prices became 11 : 20. Find the original prices of the two fans.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let price of first fan be f1 and second fan be f2.

Given,

Ratio of the prices of first two fans was 16 : 23.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{f_1}{f_2} = \frac{16}{23} \\[1em] \Rightarrow f_1 = \frac{16f_2}{23} ..........(1)\end{aligned}$$

First fan price after 2 years = $f_1 + \frac{10}{100}f_1 = f_1 + \frac{f_1}{10} = \frac{11f_1}{10}$.

Second fan price after two years = $f_2 + 477$.

Given,

Ratio of fan's prices becomes 11 : 20 after 2 years.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{\frac{11}{10}f_1}{f_2 + 477} = \frac{11}{20} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{11f_1}{10(f_2 + 477)} = \frac{11}{20} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{f_1}{f_2 + 477} = \frac{11}{20} \times \frac{10}{11} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{f_1}{f_2 + 477} = \frac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow f_1 = \frac{f_2 + 477}{2}\end{aligned}$$

Substituting value of f1 from (1) in above equation we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{16f_2}{23} = \frac{f_2 + 477}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 16f_2 \times 2 = 23(f_2 + 477) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 32f_2 = 23f_2 + 10971 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 32f_2 - 23f_2 = 10971 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9f_2 = 10971 \\[1em] \Rightarrow f_2 = \frac{10971}{9} \\[1em] \Rightarrow f_2 = 1219.\end{aligned}$$

Substituting value of f2 in equation (1), we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow f_1 = \frac{16f_2}{23} \\[1em] = \frac{16 \times 1219}{23} \\[1em] = 16 \times 53 \\[1em] = 848.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, original price of fans are ₹ 848 and ₹ 1219.

Given,

y is the mean proportional between x and z

$\therefore \frac{x}{y} = \frac{y}{z} \Rightarrow y^2 = xz.$

To prove,

xy + yz is the mean proportional between x2 + y2 and y2 + z2

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{x^2 + y^2}{xy + yz} = \frac{xy + yz}{y^2 + z^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow (xy + yz)(xy + yz) = (x^2 + y^2)(y^2 + z^2) \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2y^2 + xy^2z + xy^2z + y^2z^2 = x^2y^2 + x^2z^2 + y^4 + y^2z^2 ....[\text{i}]\end{aligned}$$

Substituting y2 = xz in L.H.S. of (i)

⇒ x2(xz) + x(xz)z + x(xz)z + (xz)z2

⇒ x3z + x2z2 + x2z2 + xz3

⇒ x3z + 2x2z2 + xz3 .........(ii)

Substituting y2 = xz in R.H.S. of (i)

⇒ x2(xz) + x2z2 + (xz)2 + (xz)z2

⇒ x3z + x2z2 + x2z2 + xz3

⇒ x3z + 2x2z2 + xz3 .........(iii)

Since, (ii) = (iii)

Hence, proved that xy + yz is the mean proportional between x2 + y2 and y2 + z2.

Again applying componendo and dividendo we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{3x + 4 + 3x - 5}{3x + 4 - (3x - 5)} = \frac{100 + 64}{100 - 64} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{6x - 1}{9} = \frac{164}{36} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 36(6x - 1) = 1476 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 216x - 36 = 1476 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 216x = 1512 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{1512}{216} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 7.\end{aligned}$$

Given that x + 2 and x - 3 are factors of x3 + ax + b. Calculate the values of a and b. Also, find the remaining factor.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

By factor theorem,

If (x - a) is a factor of polynomial f(x), then remainder f(a) = 0.

⇒ x + 2 = 0

⇒ x = -2.

Since, x + 2 is a factor of x3 + ax + b

∴ Remainder = 0.

⇒ (-2)3 + (-2)a + b = 0

⇒ -8 - 2a + b = 0

⇒ b = 2a + 8 ................(1)

x - 3 = 0

⇒ x = 3.

Since, x - 3 is a factor of x3 + ax + b

∴ Remainder = 0.

⇒ (3)3 + (3)a + b = 0

⇒ 27 + 3a + b = 0

⇒ b = -27 - 3a ................(2)

From (1) and (2), we get:

⇒ 2a + 8 = -27 - 3a

⇒ 2a + 3a = -27 - 8

⇒ 5a = -35

⇒ a = $\frac{-35}{5}$

⇒ a = -7.

Substituting value of a in equation (1), we get :

⇒ b = 2a + 8 = 2 × -7 + 8 = -14 + 8 = -6.

f(x) = x3 + ax + b = x3 - 7x - 6.

Substituting x = -1 in f(x), we get :

⇒ (-1)3 - 7(-1) - 6

⇒ -1 + 7 - 6

⇒ -1 + 1

⇒ 0.

∴ (x + 1) is a factor of x3 - 7x - 6.

Hence, a = -7, b = -6 and (x + 1) is the remaining factor.

Use the remainder theorem to factorise the expression 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6. Hence, solve the equation 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For x = -2, the value of the given expression

= 2(-2)3 + 9(-2)2 + 7(-2) - 6

= 2 × -8 + 9 × 4 - 14 - 6

= -16 + 36 - 14 - 6

= -36 + 36

= 0.

⇒ x + 2 is a factor of 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6.

Now dividing 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6 by (x + 2),

$$\begin{array}{l} \phantom{x + 2)}{2x^2 + 5x - 3} \\ x + 2\overline{\smash{\big)}2x^3 + 9x^2 + 7x - 6} \\ \phantom{x + 2}\underline{\underset{-}{}2x^3 \underset{-}{+}4x^2} \\ \phantom{{x + 2}2x^3+2}5x^2 + 7x - 6 \\ \phantom{{x + 2}x^3+2}\underline{\underset{-}{}5x^2 \underset{-}{+} 10x} \\ \phantom{{x + 2}x^3+2-5x^2}-3x - 6 \\ \phantom{{x + 2}x^3+2-5x^23}\underline{\underset{+}{-}3x \underset{+}{-} 6} \\ \phantom{{x + 2}x^3+2-5x^23-3}\times \end{array}$$

we get quotient = 2x2 + 5x - 3

∴ 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6 = (x + 2)(2x2 + 5x - 3)

= (x + 2)(2x2 + 6x - x - 3)

= (x + 2)[2x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)]

= (x + 2)(2x - 1)(x + 3).

∴ (x + 2), (2x - 1) and (x + 3) are the factors of 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6.

⇒ x + 2 = 0

⇒ x = -2

⇒ 2x - 1 = 0

⇒ x = $\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ x + 3 = 0

⇒ x = -3.

Hence, 2x3 + 9x2 + 7x - 6 = (x + 2)(2x - 1)(x + 3) and x = -2, -3, $\frac{1}{2}$.

By remainder theorem,

If f(x), a polynomial in x, is divided by (x - a), the remainder = f(a).

∴ On dividing 2x3 + 5x2 - 2x + 8 by (x - a)

Remainder = 2a3 + 5a2 - 2a + 8

Given, remainder = 2a3 + 5a2.

∴ 2a3 + 5a2 - 2a + 8 = 2a3 + 5a2

⇒ -2a + 8 = 0

⇒ 2a = 8

⇒ a = 4.

Hence, a = 4.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let a be added to x3 - 9x2 - 2x + 3 so that the remainder may be 5 when divided by (x - 2).

By remainder theorem,

If f(x), a polynomial in x, is divided by (x - a), the remainder = f(a).

∴ On dividing x3 - 9x2 - 2x + 3 + a by (x - 2)

Remainder = (2)3 - 9(2)2 - 2(2) + 3 + a

Since, remainder = 5.

∴ 8 - 9(4) - 4 + 3 + a = 5

⇒ 8 - 36 - 1 + a = 5

⇒ a - 29 = 5

⇒ a = 5 + 29 = 34.

Hence, 34 must be added to x3 - 9x2 - 2x + 3 so that the remainder may be 5 when divided by (x - 2).

On dividing x3 + 2x2 - 5ax - 7 by (x + 1), we get remainder R1 :

∴ R1 = (-1)3 + 2(-1)2 - 5a(-1) - 7

⇒ R1 = -1 + 2 + 5a - 7

⇒ R1 = 5a - 6.

On dividing x3 + ax2 - 12x + 6 by (x - 2), we get remainder R2

∴ R2 = (2)3 + a(2)2 - 12(2) + 6

⇒ R2 = 8 + 4a - 24 + 6

⇒ R2 = 4a - 10.

Given,

⇒ 2R1 + R2 = 6

⇒ 2(5a - 6) + 4a - 10 = 6

⇒ 10a - 12 + 4a - 10 = 6

⇒ 14a - 22 = 6

⇒ 14a = 28

⇒ a = $\frac{28}{14}$ = 2.

Hence, a = 2.

∴ a + 5b = 6 ........(1)

Substituting value of b in (1), we get :

$$\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \end{bmatrix*}\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & 6 \\ -2 & -8 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & 16 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a \times 3 + b \times -2 & a \times 6 + b \times -8 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & 16 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3a - 2b & 6a - 8b \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & 16 \end{bmatrix*}$$

∴ 3a - 2b = -2 .........(1)

6a - 8b = 16 .........(2)

⇒ 3a - 2b = -2

⇒ 2(3a - 2b) = 2(-2)

⇒ 6a - 4b = -4 .........(3)

Subtracting equation (2) from (3), we get :

⇒ 6a - 4b - (6a - 8b) = -4 - 16

⇒ 6a - 6a - 4b + 8b = -20

⇒ 4b = -20

⇒ b = $\frac{-20}{4}$

⇒ b = -5.

Substituting value of b in equation (1), we get :

⇒ 3a - 2(-5) = -2

⇒ 3a + 10 = -2

⇒ 3a = -2 - 10

⇒ 3a = -12

⇒ a = $\frac{-12}{3}$

⇒ a = -4.

Hence, X = $$\begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & -5 \end{bmatrix*}$$.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

We know that,

⇒ an = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ a2 = a + (2 - 1)d

⇒ 11 = a + d

⇒ 11 = a + 9

⇒ a = 11 - 9 = 2.

a15 = a + (15 - 1)d

In above series,

an = 994, a = 105 and d = 7.

By formula,

⇒ an = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ 994 = 105 + (n - 1) × 7

⇒ 994 = 105 + 7(n - 1)

⇒ 994 - 105 = 7(n - 1)

⇒ 889 = 7(n - 1)

⇒ n - 1 = $\frac{889}{7}$

⇒ n - 1 = 127

⇒ 85 = 5(n - 1)

⇒ 17 = n - 1

By formula,

Sum of A.P. = $\frac{n}{2}(a + a_n)$

Substituting values we get,

Daya gets pocket money from his father every day. Out of the pocket money, he saves ₹ 2.75 on first day, ₹ 3.00 on second day, ₹ 3.25 on third day and so on. Find :

(i) the amount saved by Daya on 14th day

(ii) the amount saved by Daya on 30th day

(iii) the total amount saved by him in 30 days.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

2.75, 3.00, 3.25, ..............

The above A.P. has first term (a) = 2.75 and common difference (d) = 3.00 - 2.75 = 0.25

By formula,

nth term = an = a + (n - 1)d.

(i) The amount saved by Daya on 14th day = 14th term of A.P.

a14 = a + (14 - 1)d

= a + 13d

= 2.75 + 13 × 0.25

= 2.75 + 3.25

= ₹ 6.

Hence, the amount saved by Daya on 14th day = ₹ 6.

(ii) The amount saved by Daya on 30th day = 30th term of A.P.

a30 = a + (30 - 1)d

= a + 29d

= 2.75 + 29 × 0.25

= 2.75 + 7.25

= ₹ 10.

Hence, the amount saved by Daya on 30th day = ₹ 10.

(iii) Sum of A.P. = $\frac{n}{2}[2a + (n - 1)d]$

Total amount saved by Daya in 30 days = Sum of A.P. upto 30 terms.

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{30}{2}[2 \times 2.75 + (30 - 1) \times 0.25] \\[1em] = 15 \times [5.5 + 29 \times 0.25] \\[1em] = 15 \times [5.5 + 7.25] \\[1em] = 15 \times 12.75 \\[1em] = ₹ 191.25\end{aligned}$$

Let a be the first term and d be common difference of the A.P.

Given,

Sum of first m terms of an A.P. is n.

⇒ Sm = n

⇒ m[2a + (m - 1)d] = 2n

⇒ 2am + m(m - 1)d = 2n ..........(1)

Sum of first n terms of an A.P. is m.

⇒ Sn = m

⇒ $\frac{n}{2}[2a + (n - 1)d] = m$

⇒ n[2a + (n - 1)d] = 2m

⇒ 2an + n(n - 1)d = 2m ..........(2)

Subtracting eq. (2) from (1), we get

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2n - 2m = 2am + m(m - 1)d - [2an + n(n - 1)d] \\[1em] \Rightarrow -2m + 2n = 2am - 2an + m(m - 1)d - n(n - 1)d \\[1em] \Rightarrow -2(m - n) = 2a(m - n) + m^2d - md - n^2d + nd \\[1em] \Rightarrow -2(m - n) = 2a(m - n) + d(m^2 - n^2) - d(m - n) \\[1em] \Rightarrow -2(m - n) = 2a(m - n) + d(m - n)(m + n) - d(m - n) \\[1em] \Rightarrow -2 = 2a + d(m + n) - d \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2a + d(m + n - 1) = -2 .........(3)\end{aligned}$$

Sm + n = $\frac{m + n}{2}[a + a + (m + n - 1)d]$

= $\frac{m + n}{2}[2a + (m + n - 1)d]$

Hence, proved that sum of first (m + n) terms of it is -(m + n).

Substituting value of r in equation (1), we get :

⇒ a = $\frac{27}{9}$

⇒ a = 3.

7th term = ar6

By two-point formula,

Equation of straight line :

⇒ y - y1 = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$(x - x1)

Equation of BD :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow y - 7 = \frac{7 - 7}{8 - (-3)}[x - (-3)] \\[1em] \Rightarrow y - 7 = 0 \times (x + 3) \\[1em] \Rightarrow y - 7 = 0.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, equation of a line passing through the mid-point of AC and the point B is y - 7 = 0.

(ii) By formula,

Slope = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Slope of AB = $\frac{7 - 5}{-3 - 1} = -\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$.

As, slope of parallel lines are equal.

∴ Slope of line parallel to AB = -$\frac{1}{2}$.

By point-slope form, equation :

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Slope of line through C and parallel to AB.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow y - 9 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 15) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2(y - 9) = -1(x - 15) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2y - 18 = -x + 15 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + 2y = 15 + 18 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + 2y = 33.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, equation of the line through C and parallel to AB is x + 2y = 33.

(iii) Equations are :

⇒ y - 7 = 0 ..........(1)

⇒ x + 2y = 33 .........(2)

From equation (1),

Substituting above value of y in equation (2), we get :

⇒ x = 33 - 14 = 19.

∴ P = (x, y) = (19, 7).

Hence, P = (19, 7).

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given, equation of line,

⇒ x - 4y = 6

⇒ x - 4y - 6 = 0

⇒ 4y = x - 6

⇒ y = $\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{6}{4}$.

Comparing with y = mx + c, we get :

Slope = $\frac{1}{4}$.

Since, given line and AB are perpendicular to each other, so their products = -1. Let slope of line AB be m1.

$\therefore \frac{1}{4} \times m_1 = -1$

⇒ m1 = -4.

Now, equation of AB can be found by point slope form,

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 3 = -4(x - 1)

⇒ y - 3 = -4x + 4

⇒ 4x + y - 3 - 4 = 0

⇒ 4x + y - 7 = 0.

Since, line x - 4y - 6 = 0 is perpendicular bisector of 4x + y - 7 = 0 hence solving them simultaneously to find point of intersection,

⇒ x - 4y = 6 .........(1)

⇒ 4x + y = 7 ........(2)

Multiplying (2) with 4 and adding with (1), we get :

⇒ 4(4x + y) + x - 4y = 4 × 7 + 6

⇒ 16x + 4y + x - 4y = 28 + 6

⇒ 17x = 34

⇒ x = $\frac{34}{17}$

⇒ x = 2.

Putting value of x in (1),

⇒ 2 - 4y = 6

⇒ -4y = 4

⇒ y = -1.

Mid-point of AB = (2, -1). Let A be (a, b).

By mid-point formula, coordinates of mid-point of AB are $\Big(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\Big)$

Given,

Line meets x-axis at point P. We know that, y-coordinate = 0 at x-axis.

Substituting, y = 0 in x + 5y + 8 = 0, we get :

⇒ x + 5(0) + 8 = 0

⇒ x + 8 = 0

⇒ x = -8.

∴ P = (-8, 0).

Line meets y-axis at point Q. We know that, x-coordinate = 0 at y-axis.

Substituting, x = 0 in x + 5y + 8 = 0, we get :

⇒ 0 + 5y + 8 = 0

⇒ 5y + 8 = 0

⇒ y = -$\frac{8}{5}$.

∴ Q = $\Big(0, -\frac{8}{5}\Big)$.

Hence, equation of line is x + 5y + 8 = 0, P = (-8, 0) and Q = $\Big(0, -\frac{8}{5}\Big)$.

∴ Equation of line passing through (4, 4) and $\Big(-1, -\frac{1}{2}\Big)$.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow y - 4 = \frac{-\frac{1}{2} - 4}{-1 - 4} \times (x - 4) \\[1em] \Rightarrow y - 4 = \frac{\frac{-1 - 8}{2}}{-5} \times (x - 4) \\[1em] \Rightarrow y - 4 = \frac{-\frac{9}{2}}{-5} \times (x - 4) \\[1em] \Rightarrow y - 4 = \frac{9}{10}(x - 4) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10(y - 4) = 9(x - 4) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10y - 40 = 9x - 36 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x - 10y - 36 + 40 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x - 10y + 4 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x + 4 = 10y.\end{aligned}$$

Slope of BC = $\frac{-2 - 4}{1 - 4} = \frac{-6}{-3}$ = 2.

We know that,

Product of slope of perpendicular lines = -1.

⇒ Slope of BC × Slope of AE = -1

⇒ Slope of AE = -$\frac{1}{2}$.

By point slope form, equation of AE :

⇒ y - 2 = 2x - 2

⇒ 2x - 2 + 2 = y

⇒ y = 2x.

Since, center of the square is the point of intersection of its diagonals.

Solving,

x + 2y = 10 and y = 2x simultaneously, we get :

⇒ x + 2y = 10 .......(1)

⇒ y = 2x .........(2)

Substituting value of y from eq (2) in (1), we get :

⇒ x + 2(2x) = 10

⇒ x + 4x = 10

⇒ 5x = 10

⇒ x = $\frac{10}{5}$

⇒ x = 2.

⇒ y = 2x = 2(2) = 4.

Center = (2, 4).

Hence, equation of other diagonal is y = 2x and coordinates of circle = (2, 4).

By point-slope form,

Equation of AB,

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 3 = $-\frac{2}{3}$[x - (-1)]

⇒ 3(y - 3) = -2(x + 1)

⇒ 3y - 9 = -2x - 2

⇒ 3y - 9 = -2x - 2

⇒ 2x + 3y = -2 + 9

⇒ 2x + 3y = 7.

Let a = 4.

A = (4, 3) and B = (2, 1).

$$\begin{aligned}\text{Slope of AB } = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \\[1em] = \frac{1 - 3}{2 - 4} \\[1em] = \frac{-2}{-2} = 1.\end{aligned}$$

By point-slope form,

Equation of AB,

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 3 = 1[x - 4]

⇒ y - 3 = x - 4

⇒ x - y = -3 + 4

⇒ x - y = 1.

Hence, a = -1 or 4 and equation of line = 2x + 3y = 7 or x - y = 1.

Find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to the line $\frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{b}$ = 1 at the point where this line meets y-axis.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let A be the point where the line $\frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{b}$ = 1 meets y-axis.

So, x co-ordinate of point A will be zero.

Substituting x = 0 in equation we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{0}{a} - \frac{y}{b} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow -\frac{y}{b} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = -b.\end{aligned}$$

A = (0, -b).

The given line equation is,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{b} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{y}{b} = \frac{x}{a} - 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = \frac{b}{a}x - 1.\end{aligned}$$

Comparing above equation with y = mx + c we get,

Slope (m) = $\frac{b}{a}$

Let slope of perpendicular line be m1.

As product of slope of perpendicular lines is -1,

∴ m × m1 = -1

⇒ $\frac{b}{a} \times m_1 = -1$

⇒ m1 = $-\frac{a}{b}$.

Equation of line through P and slope = $-\frac{a}{b}$ is

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - (-b) = $-\frac{a}{b}$(x - 0)

⇒ b(y + b) = -ax

⇒ by + b2 = -ax

⇒ ax + by + b2 = 0

Hence, equation of required line is ax + by + b2 = 0.

(i) By formula,

Slope = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substituting values we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\text{Slope of AB } = \frac{3 - 4}{3 - (-5)} \\[1em] = -\frac{1}{8}.\end{aligned}$$

By point-slope form,

Equation of AB is :

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 4 = $-\frac{1}{8}[x - (-5)]$

⇒ 8(y - 4) = -1(x + 5)

⇒ 8y - 32 = -x - 5

⇒ x + 8y = -5 + 32

⇒ x + 8y = 27.

Hence, equation of AB is x + 8y = 27.

(ii) From part (i) above,

Slope of AB (m1) = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Let slope of CD be m2.

Since, AB ⊥ CD.

∴ m1 × m2 = -1

⇒ $-\frac{1}{8} \times m_2 = -1$

⇒ $m_2 = 8$.

From figure,

D = (-3, 0)

By point-slope form,

Equation of CD is :

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 0 = 8[x - (-3)]

⇒ y = 8(x + 3)

⇒ y = 8x + 24.

Hence, equation of CD is y = 8x + 24.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let co-ordinates of A be (a, 0) and B be (0, b).

Given,

BP = 2PA

$\frac{BP}{PA} = \frac{2}{1} \text{ or } \frac{PA}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}$.

∴ P divides AB in the ratio 1 : 2.

By section formula,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow P = \Big(\frac{m_1x_2 + m_2x_1}{m_1 + m_2}, \frac{m_1y_2 + m_2y_1}{m_1 + m_2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow (4, 3) = \Big(\frac{1 \times 0 + 2 \times a}{1 + 2}, \frac{1 \times b + 2 \times 0}{1 + 2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow (4, 3) = \Big(\frac{0 + 2a}{3}, \frac{b + 0}{3}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow (4, 3) = \Big(\frac{2a}{3}, \frac{b}{3}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 4 = \frac{2a}{3} \text{ and } 3 = \frac{b}{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow a = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} \text{ and } b = 9 \\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 6 \text{ and } b = 9.\end{aligned}$$

A = (a, 0) = (6, 0) and B = (0, b) = (0, 9).

Slope of AB = $\frac{9 - 0}{0 - 6} = -\frac{9}{6} = -\frac{3}{2}$.

By point-slope form,

Equation of AB is :

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 0 = $-\frac{3}{2}$(x - 6)

⇒ 2y = -3(x - 6)

⇒ 2y = -3x + 18

⇒ 3x + 2y = 18.

Hence, equation of AB is 3x + 2y = 18.

A cylinder of circumference 8 cm and length 21 cm rolls without sliding for $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds at the rate of 9 complete rounds per second. Find:

(i) distance travelled by the cylinder in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds, and

(ii) the area covered by the cylinder in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) If distance covered in one revolution is 8 cm, then distance covered in 9 revolutions = 9 x 8 = 72 cm or distance covered in 1 second = 72 cm.

Distance covered in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds = 72 x 4.5 = 324 cm.

Hence, distance travelled by the cylinder in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds is 324 cm.

Figure unavailable in the source: A cylinder of circumference 8 cm and length 21 cm rolls without sliding for seconds at the rate of 9 complete rounds per second. Find: (i) distance travelled by the cylinder in seconds, and (ii) the area covered by the cylinder in seconds…

(ii) Given, circumference = 8 cm.

∴ 2πr = 8

⇒ $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 8$

⇒ r = $\frac{8 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = \frac{14}{11}$ cm.

By formula,

Curved surface area = 2πrh

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{14}{11}$ x 21

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 21

= 168 cm2.

So, the area covered in one revolution = 168 cm2,

∴ The area covered in 9 revolutions = 168 x 9 = 1512 cm2,

∴ The area covered in 1 second = 1512 cm2,

Thus, the area covered in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds = 1512 x 4.5 = 6804 cm2.

Hence, the area covered by cylinder in $4\frac{1}{2}$ seconds = 6804 cm2.

A cylindrical bucket 28 cm in diameter and 72 cm high is full of water. The water is emptied into a rectangular tank 66 cm long and 28 cm wide. Find the height of the water level in the tank.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Diameter of cylindrical bucket = 28 cm

Radius (r) = $\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{28}{2}$ = 14 cm.

Height (H) = 72 cm.

Length of rectangular tank (l) = 66 cm

Breadth of rectangular tank (b) = 28 cm.

Let height of water be h cm in the rectangular tank.

Since, water is emptied into a rectangular tank from cylindrical bucket,

∴ Volume of cylindrical bucket = Volume of water in rectangular tank

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow πr^2H = l × b × h \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{πr^2H}{lb} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{\frac{22}{7} \times 14^2 \times 72}{66 \times 28} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{22 \times 196 \times 72}{7 \times 66 \times 28} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{7 \times 72}{7 \times 3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 24\text{ cm}.\end{aligned}$$

The radius of a solid right circular cylinder increases by 20% and its height decreases by 20%. Find the percentage change in its volume.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the radius of a solid right cylinder be r cm and height be h cm.

∴ Volume of cylinder = πr2h

New radius (r') = r + $\frac{20}{100} \times r = \frac{120r}{100}$ = 1.2r.

New height (h') = h - $\frac{20}{100} \times h = \frac{80h}{100}$ = 0.8h.

⇒ New volume of the solid right circular cylinder = πr'2h'

= π x (1.2r)2 x 0.8h

= 1.152 πr2h.

Increase in volume = New volume - Original volume

= 1.152 πr2h - πr2h

= 0.152 πr2h.

By formula,

Percentage change in volume = $\frac{\text{Increase in volume}}{\text{Original volume}}$ x 100%

= $\frac{0.152πr^2h}{πr^2h}$ x 100%

= 15.2 %.

Hence, percentage change in volume = 15.2 %.

The sum of the inner and the outer curved surfaces of a hollow metallic cylinder is 1056 cm2 and the volume of the material is 1056 cm3. Find its internal and external radii. Given that the height of the cylinder is 21 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Sum of the inner and the outer curved surfaces of a hollow metallic cylinder = 1056 cm2

∴ 2πrh + 2πRh = 1056

⇒ 2πh(r + R) = 1056

⇒ $\frac{44}{7}h(r + R)$ = 1056

⇒ h(r + R) = $\frac{1056 \times 7}{44}$

⇒ h(r + R) = 168 ...........(1)

Volume of the material = 1056 cm3

∴ π(R2 - r2)h = 1056

⇒ $\frac{22}{7} \times (R^2 - r^2)h$ = 1056

⇒ (R2 - r2)h = $\frac{1056 \times 7}{22}$

⇒ (R2 - r2)h = 336 .........(2)

Dividing (2) by (1) we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{(R^2 - r^2)h}{(R + r)h} = \frac{336}{168} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{(R - r)(R + r)h}{(R + r)h} = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow R - r = 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow R = r + 2\end{aligned}$$

Substituting value of height and R in equation (1) we get :

⇒ 21(r + r + 2) = 168

⇒ 21(2r + 2) = 168

⇒ 2r + 2 = $\frac{168}{21}$

⇒ 2r + 2 = 8

⇒ 2r = 8 - 2

⇒ 2r = 6

⇒ r = $\frac{6}{2}$

⇒ r = 3 cm.

⇒ R = r + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 cm.

Hence, internal radius = 3 cm and external radius = 5 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Height of cylindrical portion (h) = 3 m

Height of conical part (H) = Maximum height of tent (above ground) - Height of cylindrical portion = 13.5 - 3 = 10.5 m.

Radius of base of cylindrical portion = Radius of conical portion = r = 14 m.

⇒ Curved surface area of tent = Curved surface area of cone + Curved surface area of cylinder

⇒ Curved surface area of tent (C) = πrl + 2πrh .......(1)

We know that,

$$\begin{aligned}l = \sqrt{r^2 + H^2} \\[1em] = \sqrt{14^2 + (10.5)^2} \\[1em] = \sqrt{196 + 110.25} \\[1em] = \sqrt{306.25} \\[1em] = 17.5 \text{ m}.\end{aligned}$$

Substituting values in equation (1), we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow C = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 17.5 + 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 3 \\[1em] = 22 \times 2 \times 17.5 + 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 3 \\[1em] = 770 + 264 \\[1em] = 1034 \text{ m}^2.\end{aligned}$$

Given,

Cost of painting the inner surface of the tent at ₹ 4 per sq. meter.

Total cost = Curved surface area of tent × 4

Hence, cost of painting the inner surface = ₹ 4136.

A copper wire of diameter 6 mm is evenly wrapped on the cylinder of length 18 cm and diameter 49 cm to cover the whole surface. Find :

(i) the length

(ii) the volume of the wire.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Diameter of copper wire = 6 mm = 0.6 cm

Length of cylinder (l) = 18 cm

Diameter of cylindrical base = 49 cm

Radius of cylindrical base (r) = $\frac{49}{2}$ = 24.5 cm.

(i) Given,

Copper wire is evenly wrapped on the cylinder to cover the whole surface.

As it is covers the whole length of cylinder.

∴ No. of times it wraps around = $\frac{\text{Length of cylinder}}{\text{Diameter of wire}} = \frac{18}{0.6}$ = 30.

For each turn, length of copper wire = Circumference of cylinder = 2πr

= 2 × $\frac{22}{7}$ × 24.5

= 154 cm.

Total length = 30 × 154 = 4620 cm = $\frac{4620}{100}$ = 46.20 m.

Hence, total length of copper wire = 46.20 m.

(ii) Since, wire is in the form of cylinder.

Height = Length of wire

Given,

Radius of wire (R) = $\frac{0.6}{2}$ = 0.3 cm.

Volume of wire = πR2 × length

= $\frac{22}{7} \times (0.3)^2 \times 4620$

= $\frac{9147.6}{7}$ = 1306.8 cm3.

Hence, volume of wire = 1306.8 cm3.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Radius of pool (R) = 5 m,

Depth of pool (H) = 1.4 m.

Since, pool is in the form of cylinder.

Volume of water in pool = πR2H

= 110 × 1000 litres = 11 × 104 liters.

Volume of water coming out of filling pipe = 20 litres/sec.

Time taken to fill the tank = $\frac{11 \times 10^4}{20}$ second

= $\frac{11 \times 10^4}{20 \times 60}$ minutes

= $\frac{1100}{12} = 91\frac{2}{3}$ minutes.

Let radius of pipe be r cm.

Volume of water coming out from draining pipe in 1 sec = Area of cross section × Rate

= πr2 × 2 m/sec

= (200 × πr2) cm3

= (200 × πr2 × 10-3) liters.

Given,

Time required for emptying the pool = 42 min = 42 × 60 seconds.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{\text{Volume of water in pool}}{\text{Volume of water drained out in 1 sec}} = 42 \times 60 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{11 \times 10^4}{200 \times 10^{-3} \times πr^2} = 42 \times 60 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{11 \times 10^2 \times 10^3}{2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2} = 42 \times 60 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1100 \times 7 \times 10^3}{44r^2} = 2520 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{100 \times 7 \times 10^3}{4r^2} = 2520 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{700000}{4r^2} = 2520 \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{700000}{4 \times 2520} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{100000}{4 \times 360} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{2500}{36} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{\frac{2500}{36}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \frac{50}{6} = \frac{25}{3} = 8\frac{1}{3} \text{ cm}.\end{aligned}$$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Breadth of tunnel (b) = 6 m

Height of tunnel (h) = 8 m

Length of tunnel (l) = 35 m

Let radius of semi-circle be r meters.

From figure,

⇒ 2r = 6

⇒ r = 3 m.

Circumference of semi-circle = πr = $\frac{22}{7} \times 3 = \frac{66}{7}$ m.

Internal surface area of tunnel = Circumference of semi-circle × Length + Area of side interior rectangular walls

= πrl + hl + hl

= πrl + 2hl

= $\frac{66}{7} \times 35 + 2 \times 8 \times 35$

= 330 + 560

= 890 m2.

Given,

Rate of plastering = ₹ 2.25 per m2.

Total cost = 890 × ₹ 2.25 = ₹ 2002.50.

Hence, cost of plastering internal surface area of tunnel = ₹ 2002.50

Here, n = 160, which is even.

Median = $\frac{n}{2}$ th term = $\frac{160}{2}$ = 80th term.

Steps of construction :

  1. Take 1 cm = 5 cm on x-axis.

  2. Take 1 cm = 20 students on y-axis.

  3. Since, x axis starts at 140 hence, a kink is drawn at the starting of x-axis. Plot the point (140, 0) as ogive starts on x-axis representing lower limit of first class.

  4. Plot the points (145, 12), (150, 32), (155, 62), (160, 100), (165, 124), (170, 140), (175, 152) and (180, 160).

  5. Join the points by a free-hand curve.

  6. Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point J (no. of students) = 80, touching the graph at point K. From point K draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point L.

From graph, L = 157.5

Hence, median = 157.5 cm

(ii) Here, n = 160, which is even.

By formula,

Lower quartile = $\frac{n}{4} = \frac{160}{4}$ = 40th term.

Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point P (no. of students) = 40, touching the graph at point Q. From point Q draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point R.

From graph, R = 152

Upper quartile = $\frac{3n}{4} = \frac{3 \times 160}{4}$ = 120th term.

Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point M (no. of students) = 120, touching the graph at point N. From point N draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point O.

From graph, O = 164

Inter quartile range = Upper quartile - Lower quartile

= 164 - 152 = 12.

Hence, inter quartile range = 12.

(iii) Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point S (height) = 172 cm, touching the graph at point T. From point T draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point U.

From graph, U = 144.

∴ 144 students have height less than or equal to 172 cm.

No. of students whose height is more than 172 cm = 160 - 144 = 16.

The following distribution represents the height of 160 students of a school. Measures of Central Tendency, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Here, n = 120, which is even.

Median = $\frac{n}{2}$th term

= $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60th term.

Steps of construction :

  1. Since, the scale on x-axis starts at 9.5, a break (kink) is shown near the origin on x-axis to indicate that the graph is drawn to scale beginning at 9.5

  2. Take 1 cm along x-axis = 10 units.

  3. Take 1 cm along y-axis = 20 units.

  4. Plot the point (9.5, 0) as ogive starts on x-axis representing lower limit of first class.

  5. Plot the points (19.5, 14), (29.5, 30), (39.5, 52), (49.5, 78), (59.5, 96), (69.5, 107), (79.5, 113), (89.5, 117) and (99.5, 120).

  6. Join the points by a free-hand curve.

  7. Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point O (no. of students) = 60, touching the graph at point P. From point P draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point Q.

From graph, Q = 42.5 or 43

Hence, median = 42.5 or 43.

(ii) Total marks = 100.

75% marks = $\frac{75}{100} \times 100$ = 75.

Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point R (marks) = 75, touching the graph at point S. From point S draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point T.

From graph, T = 111.

∴ 111 students score less than or equal to 75%.

Students scoring above than 75% = 120 - 111 = 9.

Draw an ogive for the data given below and from the graph determine. (i) the median marks, (ii) the number of students who obtained more than 75% marks. Measures of Central Tendency, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point O (no. of students) = 25, touching the graph at point P. From point P draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point Q.

From graph, Q = 32

Hence, lower quartile = 32.

(iii) Total marks = 100.

85% of 100 marks = $\frac{85}{100} \times 100$ = 85.

Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point R (marks) = 85, touching the graph at point S. From point S draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point T.

From graph, T = 94.

It means that 94 students scored either less or equal to 85% marks.

No. of students left = 100 - 94 = 6.

Hence, no. of students scoring more than 85% marks = 6.

(iv) Total marks = 100.

35% of 100 marks = $\frac{35}{100} \times 100$ = 35.

Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point U (marks) = 35, touching the graph at point V. From point V draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point W.

From graph, W = 28.

The marks obtained by 100 students in a mathematics test are given below. Measures of Central Tendency, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Hence, 28 students fail if pass percentage was 35%.

148PROBABILITY

A bag contains a red ball, a blue ball and a yellow ball, all the balls being of the same size. If a ball is drawn from the bag, without looking into it, find the probability that the ball drawn is :

(i) yellow

(ii) red

(iii) blue

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

No. of possible outcomes = 3 (1 red + 1 blue + 1 yellow)

(i) No. of yellow balls = 1.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(drawing a yellow ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{3}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a yellow ball = $\frac{1}{3}$.

(ii) No. of red balls = 1.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(drawing a red ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{3}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a red ball = $\frac{1}{3}$.

(iii) No. of blue balls = 1.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(drawing a blue ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{3}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a blue ball = $\frac{1}{3}$.

149PROBABILITY

A bag contains 6 red balls, 8 blue balls and 10 yellow balls, all the balls being of the same size. If a ball is drawn from the bag, without looking into it, find the probability that the ball drawn is :

(i) yellow

(ii) red

(iii) blue

(iv) not yellow

(v) not blue

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

No. of possible outcomes = 24 (6 red + 8 blue + 10 yellow)

(i) No. of yellow balls = 10.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 10

P(drawing a yellow ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a yellow ball = $\frac{5}{12}$.

(ii) No. of red balls = 6.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 6

P(drawing a red ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a red ball = $\frac{1}{4}$.

(iii) No. of blue balls = 8.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 8

P(drawing a blue ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{8}{24} = \frac{1}{3}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a blue ball = $\frac{1}{3}$.

(iv) No. of balls that are not yellow = 14 (6 red + 8 blue)

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 14

P(not drawing a yellow ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{14}{24} = \frac{7}{12}$.

Hence, probability of not drawing a yellow ball = $\frac{7}{12}$.

(v) No. of balls that are not blue = 16 (6 red + 10 yellow)

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 16

P(not drawing a blue ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{16}{24} = \frac{2}{3}$.

Hence, probability of not drawing a blue ball = $\frac{2}{3}$.

150PROBABILITY

Two dice are thrown at the same time. Write down all the possible outcomes. Find the probability of getting the sum of two numbers appearing on the top of the dice as :

(i) 13

(ii) less than 13

(iii) 10

(iv) less than 10

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

When two dice are thrown, simultaneously.

Possible outcomes = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.

No. of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

(i) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum of 13 = 0.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 0

P(getting a sum of 13) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{0}{36}$ = 0.

Hence, probability of getting a sum of 13 = 0.

(ii) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum less than 13 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 36

P(getting a sum less than 13) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{36}{36}$ = 1.

Hence, probability of getting a sum less than 13 = 1.

(iii) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum of 10 = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 3

P(getting a sum of 10) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$.

Hence, probability of getting a sum of 10 = $\frac{1}{12}$.

(iv) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum less than 10 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3)}.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 30

P(getting a sum less than 10) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{30}{36} = \frac{5}{6}$.

Hence, probability of getting a sum less than 10 = $\frac{5}{6}$.

Five cards :- the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds are well-shuffled with their face downwards. One card is then picked up at random.

(i) What is the probability that the card is the queen ?

(ii) If the queen is drawn and put aside, what is the probability that the second card picked up is (a) an ace ? (b) a queen ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

There are five cards.

∴ No. of possible outcomes = 5.

(i) No. of queens = 1

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(getting a queen) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{5}$.

Hence, probability of drawing a queen = $\frac{1}{5}$.

(ii) Since, queen is drawn and put aside.

∴ No. of cards left = 5 - 1 = 4

∴ No. of possible outcomes = 4.

(a) No. of ace cards = 1

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(getting an ace) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Hence, probability of drawing an ace = $\frac{1}{4}$.

(b) No. of queen left = 0

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 0

P(getting a queen) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{0}{4}$ = 0.

Hence, probability of getting a queen = 0.

152PROBABILITY

(i) A lot of 20 bulbs contains 4 defective bulbs. One bulb is drawn at random from the lot. What is the probability that this bulb is defective ?

(ii) Suppose the bulb drawn in (i) is not defective and is not replaced. Now one bulb is drawn at random from the rest. What is the probability that this bulb is not defective?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

No. of defective bulbs = 4.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 4

P(getting a defective ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}$.

Hence, probability of getting a defective bulb = $\frac{1}{5}$.

(ii) Since, one bulb is drawn at random and is not defective and is not replaced.

∴ No. of possible outcomes = 19.

∴ No. of good bulbs present = 15 (16 - 1)

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 15

P(not getting a defective ball) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{15}{19}$.

Hence, probability of not getting a defective bulb = $\frac{15}{19}$.
